Personal Hygiene, overalls, pest control. They are controls for the work environment rather than at a specific step and therefore should not be within the flow chart because they make it cluttered. Deal with these issues out side BUT you still need to deal with them. One for the process flow and one for the OPR. Dear samratna, Both yr questions are linked to each other however the answer is not too readily explained in a few words. The intelligibility of the answer may depend on yr current knowledge base.
I presume you are familiar with haccp. I hope you are also familiar with the standards iso and iso If not, you will probably hv to do some further reading so as to understand the following text. Partly quoting from a well-known site Procert specialising in ISO and other FS systems — Basically the difference between OPRP and CCP enables a solution to a limitation which was found within the traditional haccp system, namely - It should be said that the original concept of OPRP has somewhat changed over the last 7 years IMO, particularly driven by the operational guidance suggestions in iso Different authors also have many varying opinions over the precise interpretation and implementation just like haccp.
This contains links to several related threads in this forum there are many plus external accessible publications. Posted 16 November - AM. On Demand. Back to top Thanked by 1 Member: Charles. Posted 02 September - PM. PRP : These are basically the generic controls in any type of food buisness operation.
These are to be applied in all types of food buisness so as to maintain a hygienic environment to reduce the risk to the Food Safety. Eg - Plant Layout or infrasturcture control , pest control, personnnel hygiene, sanitation , work environment, food handling and storage , transporatation. And these are arrived only after doing the hazard analysis. Especially the last one. Posted 05 May - PM. Before conducting a Hazard Analysis I habe established a thorough PRP plan that included for example and among others cleaning and disinfecting of storage equipment e.
I have established a detailed plan for cleaning and disinfecting the refrigerator and I do monitor the PRP and verify it accordingly. I determine for example microbiological hazards for the process step cold storage my refrigerator and the microbiological hazards associated with the process step are assessed as signifcant. Control measures are determined e. Controlling the temperature is categorized as a control measure at a CCP and cleaning and disinfecting is categorized as an OPRP both to be monitored etc.
My question provided that the above briefly described approach is correct : Why do I have to bother twice for cleaning and disinfecting the refrigerator? They are not specific to one step in the process and do not control a specific hazard like CCPs do.
They ensure that the environment is maintained in a hygienic manner to reduce food safety risk. You will need to document how these programs are managed. An OPRP is a prerequisite program that controls a significant hazard. It is a control measure that has been deemed crucial, but not considered a CCP not an absolute control or can be managed upstream from the CCP. OPRPs are identified through risk assessments.
You will need to determine what can be measured and then determine how. And they may not target a specific source of the hazard but should reduce the likelihood of exposure to the hazard or other contamination sources. There are a wide variety of PRPs depending on the particular product and process. Failure of a PRP does not necessarily lead to an immediate and imminent food safety risk Generally, time and repeated failure are required to create a critical change in the safety of the product.
Stated another way, they usually manage more general and lower risk hazards. When to determine and apply control points GFSI Standards set out requirements for determining control points. This requires a logical approach and may be facilitated by use of a decision tree. Critical control points CCPs shall be those control points which are required in order to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level.
If a hazard is identified at a step where control is necessary for safety but the control does not exist, the product or process shall be modified at that step, or at an earlier step, to provide a control measure.
Significance describes those hazards which present a real risk of impacting on the consumer. It may be said that significance is essentially an expression of risk.
Applying these steps in the future A key point to keep in mind in this article when determining what Control Points are relevant to you and when they are applicable is understanding their application and definition under the scheme you are compliant with.
